Pittsburg County awards Omega contract to upgrade rescue truck suspension
Summary
The Pittsburg County commissioners unanimously awarded Bid No. 24 to Omega for a rear lift and suspension upgrade on a 2026 F-550 wet rescue fire truck, moving forward with the county's rescue fleet modernization plan.
The Pittsburg County Board of County Commissioners unanimously voted July 20 to award Bid No. 24 — a rear lift and suspension upgrade on a 2026 F-550 wet rescue fire truck — to vendor Omega. Chairman Ross Selman read the recommendation and made the motion to award the bid, which Mike Haynes seconded and the board approved.
The decision follows the bid re-advertisement listed on the meeting agenda. Commissioners did not record any conditions or amendments to the award during the meeting. Selman read aloud the recommendation to award the bid to Omega before the board's motion and vote. The award is intended to support local fire departments' rescue capabilities by updating the chassis and suspension components on a recently procured rescue vehicle.
The motion was carried by a unanimous vote of the three commissioners present: Ross Selman (Chairman), Mike Haynes (Vice-Chairman) and Charlie Rogers (Member). No public comments were entered on this agenda item during the meeting.
